Opportunity Information: Apply for F18AS00217
The Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Units (CESU) Network grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number F18AS00217) is a discretionary funding program administered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Fish and Wildlife Service. It supports work carried out under the CESU Network, which is a nationwide partnership structure that brings together federal agencies, tribal governments, universities, state and local governments, and other organizations to deliver applied science and related services. The central purpose is to strengthen the ability of federal land management, environmental, and research agencies to make decisions by providing scientific research, technical assistance, and education focused on natural and cultural resource issues.
This opportunity uses a cooperative agreement as its funding instrument, which generally indicates a more collaborative relationship between the awarding agency and the recipient than a standard grant. In practice, that typically means the federal partner may expect to be actively involved in elements such as project coordination, technical direction, or integration of results into agency priorities, consistent with the CESU model of co-produced science and mission-driven support.
The funding activity category is Natural Resources, and the associated CFDA (now commonly referenced as Assistance Listing) number is 15.678. Eligibility is limited to public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, reflecting the CESU Network design that often relies on university-based capacity to conduct research, train students, and provide expert support while coordinating closely with federal and other partners.
The posting indicates an anticipated single award (Expected Awards: 1) with an award ceiling of $47,000. The opportunity was created on July 30, 2018, and had an original closing date of August 1, 2018, noted as a five-day notice of intent to award. That kind of short window is commonly used for situations where an agency intends to make an award to a specific eligible entity and provides public notice for transparency, rather than running a longer, broadly competitive solicitation.
Overall, the opportunity is best understood as targeted support for CESU-related collaborative work that helps federal agencies address natural and cultural resource management needs through research, technical assistance, and educational activities, leveraging the CESU Network partnerships and the capabilities of eligible public universities.Apply for F18AS00217
